Discrimination has been a continuously useful tool for oppression in the United States. Racism against Indians allowed for expansion; racism against blacks and class discrimination against the poor allowed for economic exploitation; and sexism allowed for home life to be a central pillar of these other expressions of power. And once you see it throughout history, it screams out now. Why wasn't I taught this before?

The warfare history of the United States continues with World War II. The current chapter presents a shocking perspective on that war, which is pretty much status quo in this book.

Providing motivation and context for history is such an improvement over most history textbooks. Also, Zinn's presentation is of a horror story. Only this one is real.
